Data Subjects have rights under the GDPR. In essence these rights are: the right to be informed, right of access, right to rectification, right to erasure/to be forgotten, right to restrict processing, right to data portability, right to object and rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling.

6.1 The Right to be Informed

‍You have the right to be informed about how CircuitBuilder International Ltd collects and uses your personal data. This includes the purposes for processing your personal data, the retention periods for that data and who it will be shared with.

In response to a GDPR enquiry CircuitBuilder International Ltd will supply this information in a concise, transparent, intelligible, easily accessible way and in clear and plain language.

To make such a request please contact the Data Protection Officer.

Usually, we will comply with a GDPR request within one month unless the request is particularly complex, in which case we will contact you to inform you that we require an extension. The maximum extension period is two months.

You will be informed if we decide not to take any action as a result of your request. In these circumstances, you have the right to challenge that decision by contacting the Information Commissioner at https://ico.org.uk/ .

6.2 The Right of Access

You have the right to access your personal data which is held by us. To do so please contact the Data Protection Officer.

6.3 The Right to Rectification

If you have reason to believe that the personal data we hold about you is incorrect, you have the right to have it corrected. If you wish to have your data corrected you should notify the Data Protection Officer.

6.4 The Right of Erasure

We are required to delete the personal data we hold on you in certain circumstances. Those circumstances include:

You have the right to restrict the use of your personal data in certain circumstances. These include:

  • if you inform us that the data we hold is not accurate. Where this is the case, we will stop processing the data until it is made accurate.
  • where the data is processed for the performance of public interest or because of our legitimate interests and you have objected to the processing of data. In these circumstances, the processing may be restricted whilst we consider whether our legitimate interests mean it is appropriate to continue to process it.
  • when the data has been processed unlawfully.
  • where we no longer need to process the data but you need the data in relation to a legal claim.

Where data processing is restricted, we will continue to hold the data but will not process it unless otherwise required by law

If you wish to make a request for data restriction, you should notify the Data Protection Officer.

6.6 The Right to Data ‘Portability’

You have the right to obtain the data that we process on you and transfer it to another party. Where our technology permits, we will transfer the data directly to the other party for you in a safe and secure way if you so wish.

If you wish to exercise this right, you should notify the Data Protection Officer.

You have a right to require us to stop processing your data.

In some circumstances we may continue to process the data for legal requirements.
